fresh from the desk - week 32/33

well, the summer had a major impact on me (the heat took me down), so again i'm late with my report. but there is enough music to be checked out...

you may have heard of ali and basti schwarz (known as tiefschwarz). they were behind some quality remixes for strictly rhythm records germany. now they did their best remix today on ultra naté new kind of medicine for strictly rhythm records germany. these mixes are much better than the ones already available. also out on strictly rhythm records is everybody dance by barbara tucker, the full vocal version of the club hit the horn song by dj pierre.

koolgroove records have licensed the massive french jazz cut more than ever by playin' 4 the city for us release with new mixes. soulful vocal jazz house can be found on city got soul by n'dshea on hipbone records. jazz house with a pumping beat can be found on jazz jazz jazz by the pound boys feat. earl bennett, out on bassline records. for those of you into that special cassioware sound, that guy just put out so happy on funky soul records. reggie hall is back with i'm a dreamer on urgent music works records, produced by house of jazz in a soulful way.

spiritual life music finally put out directions by blaze (the promos were around for nearly a year now). this is an instrumental track with some weird keyboards. joe claussell has done another percussive remix of a ten city classic: suspicious is out now on ibadan records. richard rogers is back with come with me, a double pack on soulshine records with lots of mixes by terry hunter and louis benedetti in a garage way. the deep house lovers get served by eric kupper with the promise by caravan feat. arif st. michael.

last years massive garage cut it's your love by lz love gets remixed soulfully for us release (sorry, i don't know the label - there is no info on the record). back again is also changes by jasper street. co. where boris dlugosch is behind the slamming funky remixes. meanwhile, lenny fontana is back with the brand new i'll give you love performed by andricka hall on soulshine records. complete with remixes by jazz'n'groove, this is a supreme garage cut.

talkin' loud records just released star chasers by 4 hero. unfortunatley, they only put out an edit of the massive masters at work mix you might have heard in the clubs - what a shame. let's hope there will be another 12" with the full lenght version. speaking of the masters at work, they released two new 12" on their own maw records. the first one is by kenny bobien and is titled rise above the storm, a soulful production. the second one is by freestyle orchestra and features the two tracks odyssey and i'm ready. mas collective from italy have done it again: dancing in the street by moon life on strictly rhythm records is a brilliant goseplish house song featuring ce ce rogers and su su bobien on vocals.

kenny bobien has another 12" out at the moment: back to life on kingstreet records is a strong club song. the same label also has the body&soul-ish remixes by ront trent and anthony nicholson (aka usg) of my urban soul by (you guessed it) urban soul. and you should have no problems finding the promo copy of d'influence rock with you featuring the massive mousse t. house remixes (yes, it's a cover of the classic michael jackson hit) on echo records. azuli records put out dancing with you by bini+martini, a very disco-ish production complete with remixes by full intention.

trackwise, we get the new york rhythms remix ep by mateo & matos on glasgow underground records. mad moses put out got the devil in me by hard country on idny records, a mad track driven by a harmonica. big bang theory put out the funky all nite ep on slip'n'slide records.
